Nicola Sturgeon slams Tories over claims she 'attacked' NHS in other parts of UK

NICOLA Sturgeon has hit back at Douglas Ross after he claimed she spent more time “attacking” the NHS in other parts of UK rather than focusing on what can be changed in Scotland.

Speaking at First Minister’s Questions, Nicola Sturgeon responded to a question about NHS waiting times by highlighting that accident and emergency units in Scotland are the best performing in the UK.

She added that delayed discharges are lower in Scotland than in England and Wales and that there are more GPs per 100,000 people in Scotland than the rest of the UK.
